After making $200 in 4 hours, I saw one table without a single player. I knew that was an opportunity to play heads-on with the dealer, but I was afraid I might lose and have to stay for more hours. But many people recommend me to play heads-on whenever the opportunity is given. It was very tempting for me, because empty table is a really rare opportunity in that casino.

Should I have kept playing even after reaching my goal, or did I make the right decision in that I left? In other words, does playing heads-on gives you significantly* more advantage then playing in full table?
I think a better plan would be to play until you achieve $200 in EV, Wong out at that point if deck is negative, finish deck if positive. Your results may be positive or negative at that point, but over time you will make $200/day.
